Too busy to design your home? Here’s what I do for clients like you:
Let me ask you this:
What if your home could be designed entirely around you: your rhythm, your taste, your lifestyle without you ever having to measure, manage or make dozens of tiny decisions?
That’s the experience I create.
Most of my clients are busy professionals or well-traveled individuals who appreciate design but don’t have the time or frankly, the interest to be involved in every detail. They want a beautiful home, not a new part-time job. That’s where I come in.
Take Julia, for example.
Julia had just purchased a sun-drenched apartment in the West Village, a corner unit with original moldings, tall windows and a lot of potential. But she was working 60-hour weeks and didn’t want to be on calls about curtain rods or dining chairs. She reached out to me with a clear goal: “Make it feel warm, elegant and done. I don’t want to have to think about it.”
We started with a conversation. I asked questions that went far beyond colors and Pinterest boards. I wanted to understand how she lives. Does she host? Is she a reader? How does she feel about velvet? What does she want her space to say when people walk in?
From that single meeting, I translated her taste into two distinct style directions. One leaned into Parisian romance: arched mirrors, plaster lighting, creamy tones, antique brass. The other had a more grounded, modern New York feel: structured shapes, walnut wood, deep green velvet. She chose the second.
Then came the easiest part for her: I presented two to three carefully curated options for each key piece: sofa, bed, chandelier, coffee table. That’s it. No scrolling, no overwhelm. Just clear, confident choices.
Once she approved the final selections, I took over everything, alongside my highly trained team. Over the next few weeks, we handled all sourcing, purchasing and vendor coordination behind the scenes. Then, rather than dragging out the process with weeks of random deliveries, we scheduled one single, seamless installation day. White glove delivery crews brought everything in at once, while I was on-site directing exactly where each piece belonged. If needed, I bring in a professional cleaning team before installation and a styling team to finish the space: hanging art, installing light fixtures, arranging books, fluffing pillows. Julia didn’t have to follow up with a single vendor or coordinate a single schedule. And when she walked into her finished apartment, she told me, “This feels exactly like me—but better.”
That’s the power of full-service design.
When you work with me, you get more than just taste. You get efficiency, clarity and peace of mind. I blend the elegance of European design with the functionality New Yorkers need so your space works just as beautifully as it looks.
You don’t have to do it all. You just have to decide you’re ready.
Let’s talk about how we can make your home a reflection of you, without the stress.
